/**
 *	seq_open -	initialize sequential file
 *	@file: file we initialize
 *	@op: method table describing the sequence
 *
 *	seq_open() sets @file, associating it with a sequence described
 *	by @op.  @op->start() sets the iterator up and returns the first
 *	element of sequence. @op->stop() shuts it down.  @op->next()
 *	returns the next element of sequence.  @op->show() prints element
 *	into the buffer.  In case of error ->start() and ->next() return
 *	ERR_PTR(error).  In the end of sequence they return %NULL. ->show()
 *	returns 0 in case of success and negative number in case of error.
28
 *	Returning SEQ_SKIP means "discard this element and move on".
